  The SAP error message FICO1117, which states "The differentiation types must be the same for conditions of one type," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly within the Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the differentiation types of the conditions being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Differentiation Types Mismatch: The error arises when you are trying to process multiple conditions that are expected to have the same differentiation type, but they do not. Differentiation types are used to categorize conditions based on how they are applied (e.g., by customer, material, etc.).
  Incorrect Condition Records: If you have condition records set up with different differentiation types for the same condition type, this can lead to the error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the pricing procedure or condition types that lead to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Condition Records: Review the condition records for the relevant condition types. Ensure that all records that should be processed together have the same differentiation type.
  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure configuration to ensure that the differentiation types are correctly set up and consistent across the conditions being used.
  Adjust Condition Types: If necessary, adjust the condition types to ensure they are aligned. This may involve changing the differentiation type of certain conditions or creating new condition types that are consistent.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to manage condition types and differentiation types in your version of SAP.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the pricing conditions are applied correctly.
